About me
Let’s be honest, it’s all a bit daunting really, isn't it?
You decide you might need to talk to someone, Google it, and suddenly you’re scrolling through pages of smiling faces all saying more or less the same thing. The titles and initials next to our names likely don’t mean a great deal to you.
So how do you tell us apart?
I won’t give you a lot of patter. This specialism, that theory, these many years, those qualifications... In the end, what really matters is whether we connect. The research backs this up, and my experience does too.
You’ll get a small sense of me here, but you won’t really know whether I’m someone you feel comfortable with, someone you could talk to openly, until we meet.
That’s why I offer a free initial chat and session. No pressure. No commitment.
I’m warm, curious about who you are, fully present in our work, and I ask a lot of questions. My role is to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself. Change often follows.
If we decide to continue, we’ll work out a time and fee that suit. And if not, you’ll be one step closer to knowing what you’re looking for in a therapist.
Training, qualifications & experience
CPCAB Level 4 in Therapeutic Counselling
My training was centred around an integrative approach to therapy which draws on a number of theories and techniques.
The key focus of the integrative approach to therapy is to be sensitive and responsive to people’s needs as they are during the sessions. This has the advantage of creating a flexible process that is not rigid in ideas and application and allows people to freely explore their experiences.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Additional information
It's important to keep therapy affordable, so I do my best to offer concessions when I can– unfortunately, there is a limit to what I can do.
I know money can be a sensitive topic at times, but please do speak to me if you have any concerns or questions about fees.
